Fifth Crow Farm
Hudson's Golden Gem Apples (1.5lb bag)
$8
Unit price perHudson's Golden Gem is one of the finest russet apples you can find — discovered as a wild seedling along a fence row in Tangent, Oregon in 1931 and originally sold as a pear because of its elongated, conical shape and golden-brown russeted skin. The resemblance to a Bosc pear goes beyond appearance: the flesh is crisp, sweet, and juicy with a distinctly nutty, pear-like flavor and notes of butterscotch that set it apart from any standard apple variety. Rarely found outside specialty orchards and farmers markets.
